How to disable the email order notification for administrator

To disable email order notification for administrator without disabling it for customer:

1. Open the fn_cart.php file located in the core directory of your CS-Cart installation.
2. Find the following part of code there:
   

   // Notify customer
           fn_send_mail($order_info['email'], $settings['Company']['company_orders_department'], 'orders/order_notification_subj.tpl', 'orders/order_notification.tpl', '', $order_info['lang_code']);
   
           // Notify administrator (only if the changes performed from customer area)
           if (AREA == 'C') {
               // Translate descriptions to admin language
               fn_translate_products($order_info['items'], 'product', $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']);
               $smarty_mail->assign('order_status', fn_get_status_data($status_to, STATUSES_ORDER, $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']));
   
               fn_send_mail($settings['Company']['company_orders_department'], $order_info['email'], 'orders/order_notification_subj.tpl', 'orders/order_notification.tpl', '', $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']);
           }

3. Replace it with the following part of code:
   

   // Notify customer
           fn_send_mail($order_info['email'], $settings['Company']['company_orders_department'], 'orders/order_notification_subj.tpl', 'orders/order_notification.tpl', '', $order_info['lang_code']);
   
           // Notify administrator (only if the changes performed from customer area)
           if (AREA == 'C') {
               // Translate descriptions to admin language
               fn_translate_products($order_info['items'], 'product', $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']);
               $smarty_mail->assign('order_status', fn_get_status_data($status_to, STATUSES_ORDER, $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']));
   
               //fn_send_mail($settings['Company']['company_orders_department'], $order_info['email'], 'orders/order_notification_subj.tpl', 'orders/order_notification.tpl', '', $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']);
           }

4. Then find the following part of code there:
   

   if (!defined('ORDER_NOTIFICATION_SENT') && $notify_user == 'Y') {
           // [Send email notification]
           $smarty_mail->assign_by_ref('order_info', $order_info);
   
           // Send notification to customer
           $smarty_mail->assign('order_status', fn_get_status_data($order_info['status'], STATUSES_ORDER, $order_info['lang_code']));
   
           fn_send_mail($order_info['email'], $settings['Company']['company_orders_department'], 'orders/order_notification_subj.tpl', 'orders/order_notification.tpl', '', $order_info['lang_code']);
   
           // Translate descriptions to admin language
           fn_translate_products($order_info['items'], 'product', $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']);
   
           // Send notification to order department
           $smarty_mail->assign('order_status', fn_get_status_data($order_info['status'], STATUSES_ORDER, $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']));
           fn_send_mail($settings['Company']['company_orders_department'], $order_info['email'], 'orders/order_notification_subj.tpl', 'orders/order_notification.tpl', '', $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']);
       }

5. Replace it with the following part of code:
   

   if (!defined('ORDER_NOTIFICATION_SENT') && $notify_user == 'Y') {
           // [Send email notification]
           $smarty_mail->assign_by_ref('order_info', $order_info);
   
           // Send notification to customer
           $smarty_mail->assign('order_status', fn_get_status_data($order_info['status'], STATUSES_ORDER, $order_info['lang_code']));
   
           fn_send_mail($order_info['email'], $settings['Company']['company_orders_department'], 'orders/order_notification_subj.tpl', 'orders/order_notification.tpl', '', $order_info['lang_code']);
   
           // Translate descriptions to admin language
           fn_translate_products($order_info['items'], 'product', $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']);
   
           // Send notification to order department
           $smarty_mail->assign('order_status', fn_get_status_data($order_info['status'], STATUSES_ORDER, $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']));
           //fn_send_mail($settings['Company']['company_orders_department'], $order_info['email'], 'orders/order_notification_subj.tpl', 'orders/order_notification.tpl', '', $settings['Appearance']['admin_default_language']);
       }

6. Save the file.
